     We are having another amazing day, almost don't want to leave , but we are ready to move on down the road again.
     Did some nice early morning walkabouts around this area again, a really beautiful area on the lake.
     Taking our time with not far to go we got our coach secured, pulled out shortly after 9 am, Saying so long for now to our new friends Scott and their crew.  Living Large in the North , a young family of 9 taking their first adventure south.

nice back roads and trails here

heading out of town through Truth or Consequences

         Hopped on I 25 south and the short cut to Deming and through Hatch NM , famous for their Chili Peppers.

they really promote their chile  peppers here

markets like this all through town

carried on down the road and past a lot of solar Farms

nice quiet back roads to enjoy

open range cattle along this stretch

        Before noon we arrived at Rock Hound State park, checked with the host and were parked in the group area, not too bad, we are on a cement pad (bonus) with water and electric only again $14.00 a night.  As we pulled were treated by Brenda and Len, what a nice welcome, was not sure that they would still be here. Set up and enjoyed a nice light lunch.  Then paid for our site and checked out the park a bit.

desert cactus love it

these are everywhere

we are camped in there

       Not a lot of sites but very friendly hosts, the Florida mountains around us.

lots to see in this area  if we want to explore

      Below is our site, If we wish to move to another site that become available we can , but this is not too bad at all and a cement patio to boot!

this works for us

group area, but no groups, we will enjoy it here

          We have the bonus of the pavilions beside us to use lots of room and shade, It is very hot in the sun 83F (28c) is the shade is welcome. And enjoyed reading for  a while relaxing in the shade.

Suzie in the shade over there

        Then at 3 pm our new friends Brenda and Len , we met at Bottomless Lakes State park drop over for Happy Hour. Sure is nice to see them again and we shared some for stories and fun information.

Len and Brenda

    Shortly after 4 pm they headed home so that we could all BBQ our supper before the sunset.

and we are in the perfect spot to enjoy a sunset too

      I had whipped up a salad and grilled a smoked pork chop we brought from home, It was huge so we shared it.

sure love these smoked chops

hit the spot tonight

      Then we even got to enjoy the rest of the sunset out our dining room window having supper.

what a perfect way to end another perfect day

     We are going to hang out here for a few days then make our way in to Arizona and explore some dessert that we love.

104 miles, just a couple hours down the road
